As a poet, I am deeply concerned
because so far as I can tell, nobody has yet written an Ode to the MidloVan. I feel that the sublime nature of the MidloVan deserves to be examined poetically, at least in iambic pentameter, or preferably in heroic couplets.

Am I right or am I right?

2. There once was a van in Virginia
That was full to the roof with Franzia
With the Sirius blaring
And everyone staring
at Midlo and her megalomania

5. You are beyond right. The MidloVan is simple the greatest
specimen of auto transport known to man. From the FUCKING sirius satellite radio to the iPod connection. :rofl:

Oh, and it sparkles in the sun. Like a vampire.

15. I collaborated for years with Shel Silverstein to bring you this:
The Little Boy and the Midlo Van by Shel Silverstein

Said the little boy, "Sometimes I drop my spoon."
Said the Midlo Van, "I do that too."
The little boy whispered, "I wet my pants."
"I do that too," laughed the little Midlo Van.
Said the little boy, "I often cry."
The Midlo Van nodded, "So do I."
"But worst of all," said the boy, "it seems
Grown-ups don't pay attention to me."
And he felt the warmth of a radiator fan.
"I know what you mean," said the little Midlo Van.
My owner is too smashed on boxed wine to drive me so quit your bitching.
And get off my lawn.


You're welcome.

23. I birthed a work of art and this is how you repay me???
AND I know boxed wine is so 2009 because I DO keep up! But it's like my subject line says: I collaborated for years with Shel Silverstein to bring you this. That douche knows nothing about current wine trends, I swear.

This whole ordeal was absolutely exhausting.

25. I truly am
I love you too, but that Shel dude is still a douche. I don't think I'll ever collaborate with him again. Not that I blame you or your van or anything. You shouldn't feel bad for that.

30. MidloVanLimerick
The MidloVan is fully loaded
It can even seat the quintuplets
Grab a bottle of Boone's
And crank up the tunes
'Cause the cougar is ready for couplets
